Travels and Engagements

A couple weekends back my partners and I had a booth at the Autorama car show for our motorsports company Drift Enterprise here in Salt Lake City, Utah. I got some decals thrown: Xlear, Inc., Crazy Car Ads, Lash Couture, Lush Extensions, and Drift Enterprise on about 2 hours before the doors closed for vendors, then had to drive the Nissan about 10 miles in the sleet/snow. I made it in the door (car dripping with road grime) and made it just in time for all the classic car owners to mumble some unwelcoming words. As I entered the building with my car on my way to our motorsports display booth by transmission wouldnt go in gear (talk about embarrassing). Although it wasnt a surprise since I had a few transmission problems occuring over the last couple of months.
So we finally pushed it to the booth only to realize that we had to parallel park(pushing) this car that has a welded differential and super wide tires. After we stopped whining, we started pushing and pretty much gave up after about 20 minutes of Austin Power's like maneuvering. So we decided to just pull the front bumper off and use a floor jack to pull the front of the car in a lil more to line up with the back end. Long story short(or is it too late, lol), we got the car in and the display setup.

I write this blog as a means of venting thoughts on politics, rants, the environment, occasional frustrations, cars, and just random stuff. Sit back hold on and prepare to be entertained...Woke up this morning to the sun gently brushing my face through the roman style blinds. I hope the upper pillow ball mounts would come in today, but realistically, I know its not going to happen. As evaluated my list of things to do for the day I could help but recall the anxiety of my open schedule. It made me wonder if the structured and extra productive life is what I needed. If I dont a full agenda how productive or efficient can I really be? After I finished marinating in that evaluation for a lil bit I decided to work on my wife's car for an hour so. Just enough time to figure out whats going on with the cooling system and the remedy for it. Since I already started working on her car I figured I would wash mine after since its been about 2 months since the last was. But hey, its only gets driven maybe three days a month and just sits in the garage the other twenty seven to twenty eight days. As I was getting ready to attach my steering (yes its detachable) I thought, when is the next time that I'm going drive this old thing anyway? After about ten minutes I can to the conclusion that its pretty much put away until the spring time except for the photoshoots from time to time. In all reality, this car wash is going to be the last one til about April.
My ankles still aching from yesterday's soccer excursion with lil brothers and sisters I expertly execute the home car wash thing while the baby plays in her octagon play pen. I wanted to go to the charity car wash today, but the babysitter or lack there of cancelled that plan.
